Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Beartooth communication system secure for civilian use?

Beartooth utilizes AES 256 encryption, the same robust standard used by banks, ensuring that all communications are wrapped in a secure layer. This prevents unauthorized listening or interception, creating a private network for users.

How does Beartooth differ from professional tactical radios like the Persistent Systems MPU5?

While both offer encrypted communications, the Beartooth system is significantly lighter (1.2 lbs vs. 5.75 lbs) and more affordable, making it accessible for civilian users. The MPU5's primary advantage is its ability to push live video, which Beartooth does not offer.

Can Beartooth be used with existing communication gear like Peltor headsets?

Yes, Beartooth can be integrated with Peltor headsets. This involves using a U174 to 3.5mm adapter and a physical push-to-talk (PTT) device, allowing users to leverage their existing ear protection for encrypted push-to-talk communications.

What is the range and network capability of the Beartooth system?

Beartooth operates as a mesh network with single-hop distances ranging from 200m to 10 miles, depending on the environment. The network can hop up to six times and support hundreds of nodes, allowing for scalable communication over extended areas.

Does using Beartooth require any special licenses or infrastructure?

No, Beartooth operates in the license-free ISM spectrum, so no operator's license is needed. It also does not require any legacy infrastructure like Wi-Fi routers or cell towers, as the entire network backbone runs off the Beartooth radios themselves.
